The long reads
The Great Falls guide
Great Falls sits at the Missouri River falls system that Lewis and Clark portaged for 31 days in 1805. 10-25 sends overnight rigs to Dick's RV Park (Independent, 2 mi, Full hookups on 100 sites, max 55 ft at $40/night), which becomes the practical commissary as well. Surrounding open space worth a day trip lands at Giant Springs State Park and Sluice Boxes State Park.
Two regional scenic drives line up groceries-plus-views: Russell Country Scenic Drive (US-89) and Kings Hill Scenic Byway (US-89 / MT-200). Tank dump and propane refill cluster near each other — Dick's RV Park ($10) and U-Haul of Great Falls on 2300 10th Ave S, Great Falls, MT 59405. Best arrival window is Mid-May through September; the season locals recommend skipping is November through April.
